A more detailed During the first week of October, 359 patients were treated at the Field Hospital 226 of this total were seen on October 7 th alone when fighting was particularly intense. At the 50km Clinic, more than 600 patients have been seen to date, the majority of which are presenting with upper respiratory infections and gastro-intestinal complaints. International Medical Corps is continuing to coordinate with other humanitarian actors to provide conflict-affected communities with clean water, food, hygiene kits, and shelter. Bani Walid and Misurata: A medical team is on standby to deploy to the Bani Walid and supplies and equipment are being provided to Misurata ambulances servicing the Bani Walid frontlines. Medical personnel seconded to the Misurata polyclinic are supporting the capacity of the facility to cope with war casualties air lifted from Sirte. On October 4 th 6 th, an International Medical Corps team conducted a mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) assessment in Misurata, details of which will be provided when the report is finalized. On October 5 th 6 th, International Medical Corps trained 15 physiotherapists and psychologists from the Altadhamon Rehabilitation Center in Psychological First Aid. A training on GBV guiding principles was also initiated on October 11 th in Misurata. International Medical Corps is providing support to internally displaced persons from Bani Walid that have fled to Mizda, Gharyan, and Tripoli.
2 Sabha: An International Medical Corps team assessed the Sabha Central Hospital on October 1 st 3 rd. The hospital is short-staffed, lacks critical medical supplies, and is currently only operating at half its capacity while at the same time managing an influx of patients with war-related casualties. International Medical Corps has sent medicines and medical supplies and on October 8 th deployed a team of 2 GPs, a volunteer internist and nurse, and a field site coordinator. Tripoli: International Medical Corps deployed a mobile team on October 4 th to the towns of Tarhunah and Al Khadra, 89 kilometers south of Tripoli where populations from Tawarga, Gawalesh, Bani Walid and Sirte have taken refuge. The team is supporting over 600 families (3,600 individuals.) In partnership with the Jordan Health Aid Society (JHAS), International Medical Corps is continuing to support the Tripoli Medical Center and the Tripoli Central Hospital and will redeploy JHAS nurses to the Al Khadra Hospital per the hospital s request. On October 10 th, two days after presenting the findings of a mental health assessment to relevant stakeholders at the Al Razi Psychiatric Hospital, International Medical Corps and Al Razi co-hosted a successful day-long event to commemorate World Mental Health day. Western Mountains: International Medical Corps is continuing the provision of staffing support to Jadu and Zintan hospitals and expanded support to include the Gharyan hospital on October 5 th to assist with the treatment and management of war-related cases from Bani Walid. On October 4 th, International Medical Corps deployed two mobile health teams to provide support to clinics in Tiji, Badr and Gharyan (Abu Zain and Kawassim). Eastern Libya: Jordan Health Aid Society (JHAS) nursing support to the Benghazi Medical Center is being discontinued and nurses are being re-deployed to western Libya to provide assistance in health facilities managing conflict-affected patient caseloads. The newly started Physical Rehabilitation program in Benghazi is ongoing and all equipment needed to scale up to full operational capacity has been provided to the Benghazi Medical Center. Libya/Tunisia border: International Medical Corps continues to operate two health posts at Shousha and Al Hayat refugee camps in Tunisia. Due to heavy rains during the week of October 3 rd, the clinic tents flooded, forcing the teams to work in makeshift clinics within borrowed containers or shelters. Introduction: National Transitional Council (NTC) forces have made a significant breakthrough in their efforts to take control of Gaddafi s hometown of Sirte and as of October 11 th are within 200 meters of the city center. Despite NTC gains, pro-gaddafi snipers are repositioning themselves in areas cleared by NTC fighters and the Sirte Field Hospital has reported receiving a number of casualties as a result of sniper fire. The presence of unexploded ordinance is also likely and will pose an additional threat to residents of Sirte while also hindering humanitarian access. The ongoing siege has contributed to city-wide water, fuel and electricity supply shortages as well as shortages of food, medicines and oxygen. In addition to these critical needs, the provision of medical aid has been hampered by limited access to the city. Since the start of the protracted battle for Sirte, an estimated 12,000 persons (2,000 families) have been displaced by the fierce clashes, primarily to Wadi Jaraf, Al Gabiiba, Wadi Imrah, Waskha, Heesha, and Tawarga. Several Sirte IDPs in Tawarga were recently moved to Kararim, which is closer to Misurata. A limited number of humanitarian actors including International Medical Corps are already pre-positioned at the outskirts of Sirte to provide health services, food and relief items both to
3 war casualties transferred via ambulance from the frontlines and civilians fleeing the violence. Third country nationals have also been observed fleeing Sirte. It is expected that once Sirte is captured by NTC forces, internally displaced persons (IDPs) will return quickly and humanitarian actors will need to rapidly respond to the needs of the conflict-affected population. Fighting in Bani Walid is ongoing and the presence of snipers has also been reported here. NTC fighters have advanced to the southern gate of the Gaddafi stronghold, making it possible for an additional 100 families to escape the besieged city. The continued fighting has resulted in settlements of IDPs around Bani Walid as well as an influx of displaced persons into Tripoli, Mizda and Gharyan. Insecurity and limited fighting is reported in the other remaining Gaddafi strongholds in parts of southern Libya, around Sabha and Hun, although NTC forces have made significant advances in these areas as well. As of October 11, 2011: SIRTE International Medical Corps is continuing to provide staffing and material support to the Sirte 50km Field Hospital, the Sirte 50km Clinic, the Athalathin polyclinic, Wadi Jaraf, and the Al Gabiiba polyclinic. A mobile health team has been deployed to provide health services to conflict-affected populations in Waskha, Wadi Imrah, Wadi Jafrah, and Tawarga. On October 11 th, an International Medical Corps team assessed the Ibn Sina Hospital in Sirte and reported that it is functioning at the bare minimum. A more detailed report will be provided. At the Sirte 50 km Field Hospital (FH), International Medical Corps has deployed three doctors, a midwife, a scrub nurse and an ICU nurse to support hospital operations. During the first week of October, 359 patients were treated at the Field Hospital 226 of this total were seen on October 7 th alone when fighting was particularly intense. Assistance to coordinate medevac operations via ambulance from frontlines to the Sirte Aid Station and then onwards to the Sirte 50km FH has also continued. Critical cases are subsequently transferred to Misurata via medevac helicopters. A medevac flight nurse deployed by International Medical Corps provides care to casualties during transfers from Sirte to Misurata and on-the-job training on safe Medevac procedures for medical staff on board the air ambulance is being provided. International Medical Corps is also continuing to support nine Misurata Ambulance Service frontline ambulances and the Sirte Aid Station with necessary medicines and supplies to ensure timely stabilization and transfer of war casualties from the Sirte frontlines. At the Sirte 50km Clinic, next to the FH, International Medical Corps has deployed 1 GP and a midwife to provide care to civilians fleeing Sirte. To date, more than 600 patients have been seen, the majority of which are presenting with upper respiratory infections and gastro-intestinal complaints. International Medical Corps has provided clinics in Wadi Jaraf, Al Gabiiba, and Athalathin with essential medicines and supplies. Medical equipment and supplies are delivered by teams of medical personnel who also assisted clinic staff to treat patients. The majority of cases seen have been children with diarrhea. Doctors and nurses from Sirte are currently working in these clinics.
4 International Medical Corps is continuing to coordinate with other humanitarian actors to provide conflict-affected communities with clean water, food, hygiene kits, and shelter. BANI WALID and MISURATA International Medical Corps is continuing to provide staffing support to the Misurata polyclinic, including 3 ICU nurses, 1 scrub nurse, 2 ER doctors, and a general practitioner. The seconded staff are supporting the capacity of the facility to cope with war casualties air lifted from Sirte. An International Medical Corps Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) assessment team visited Misurata from October 4-6 and met with stakeholders from the Misurata Medical Committee, the Misurata Psychiatric Clinic, the Misurata Mental Health Committee, and the Altadhamon Rehabilitation Center. An official assessment report will be shared when it has been finalized. On October 5-6 th, International Medical Corps trained 15 physiotherapists and psychologists from the Altadhamon Rehabilitation Center in Psychological First Aid (PFA). A training on GBV Guiding Principles was initiated in Misurata on October 11 th. A medical team is on standby to deploy to Bani Walid and supplies and equipment are being provided to Misurata ambulances servicing the Bani Walid frontlines. International Medical Corps is providing support to IDPs from Bani Walid that have fled to Mizda, Gharyan, and Tripoli. SABHA On October 1 st 3 rd, International Medical Corps staff traveled to Sabha where a detailed assessment of the Sabha Central Hospital was conducted. It was noted that the hospital has had several management issues and that hospital equipment and supplies were looted by previous management. The hospital is currently operating at half capacity and while all departments are open, they are short staffed. There is an immediate need for chronic disease and surgical supplies as well as orthopedic equipment and International Medical Corps has already delivered drugs, medical supplies, and consumables to address identified shortages. Currently, there are approximately 60 patients per day presenting at the hospital, the majority with war-related casualties although accidental injuries from unexploded ordinance have also been reported as well as OB/GYN cases. Patients requiring specialized care are being transferred to Tripoli. Of eight existing poly-clinics, only three are currently functional. Key needs among the polyclinics include equipment repairs. On October 8 th, International Medical Corps deployed a team of 2 GPs, a volunteer internist and nurse, and a field site coordinator to Sabha. The field site coordinator has started working with hospital management to organize the intensive care and emergency units and will organize capacity building trainings for ICU staff. TRIPOLI On October 4 th, International Medical Corps started a mobile health team that is providing health services to internally displaced persons in the towns of Tarhunah and Al Khadrah, which are 89 km south of Tripoli. To date, there are approximately 600 registered families (approximately 3,600 individuals) in these two towns that fled from ongoing fighting in Tawarga, Gawalesh, Bani Walid, and Sirte. The most common conditions seen by the mobile health team thus far have been acute respiratory infections, gastro-intestinal complaints, and chronic diseases, including hypertension and diabetes. An IDP Coordinator assisting with the provision of support to this population has indicated that drinking water, hygiene kits, infant food/formula, sanitary pads and diapers, food, and blankets and mattresses are all needed.
5 The Tripoli Medical Center and the Tripoli Central Hospital are still being supported by 13 nurses from the Jordan Health Aid Society (JHAS). Upon the request of the Al Khadra Hospital, International Medical Corps will redeploy JHAS nurses to provide support to this facility as well. International Medical Corps continues to co-chair the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) working group at the Al-Razi Psychiatric Hospital. On October 8 th, findings from a mental health assessment were presented at Al Razi in order to guide the strategic development of mental health and psychosocial interventions. An official assessment report will be shared when it has been finalized. A PFA training will be held on the 12 th and 13 th for volunteer doctors from a newly started community-based organization. On October 10 th, International Medical Corps co-chaired a day-long event in collaboration with the Al- Razi Psychiatric Hospital to commemorate World Mental Health Day. As part of the event, which was attended by over 300 people, International Medical Corps distributed wellness pamphlets and other awareness raising materials. International Medical Corps is preparing for training on the clinical management of rape survivors that will be conducted on October 15 th in collaboration with the Libyan Center for Disease Control. WESTERN MOUNTAINS In the Western Mountains, International Medical Corps continued staffing support to the Jadu (2 nurses) and Zintan (1 surgeon, 7 nurses) hospitals. Medical personnel supporting health facilities in Nalut and Kabaw have all been re-deployed to other parts of Libya, including Zintan, Misurata, and Sirte. On October 5 th, International Medical Corps started providing support to the Gharyan hospital through the deployment of an anesthesiology nurse and a scrub nurse. The Gharyan hospital is receiving approximately 30 patients per day from Bani Walid, the majority of which have war-related casualties. It is reported that war casualties are also presenting at health facilities in Mizda and Nismah. International Medical Corps is planning to assess both areas in the coming days to determine the level of support needed. On October 4 th, International Medical Corps deployed two mobile health teams to provide assistance to primary health care (PHC) clinics requiring staffing assistance. One mobile health team, consisting of a doctor, nurse, and roving general practitioner visits the Tiji PHC twice a week and the Badr PHC twice a week. They are reporting an average of consultations per day in Tiji and 40 per day in Badr. The second mobile health team, consisting of a doctor and nurse, visits two sites in Gharyan Abou Zain twice a week and Kawassim twice a week. The team reports an average of 20 consultations per day in Abou Zain and 35 per day in Kawassim. It is estimated that there are 500 IDPs from Bani Walid in Gharyan and 700 in Mizda. EASTERN LIBYA International Medical Corps still has JHAS nurses stationed in the Benghazi Medical Center; however, all will be re-deployed to western Libya over the course of the week. The Physical Rehabilitation program in Benghazi received its final shipment of rehabilitation equipment to enable the emergency rehab activities within the Benghazi Medical Center to scale up to full operational capacity. LIBYA/TUNISIA BORDER AREA International Medical Corps continues to operate two health posts at the Al Hayat and Shousha camps near the Ras Ajdir border and is the main provider of primary and emergency health services to refugees and third country nationals. Heavy rains during the week of October 3 rd resulted in
6 flooding of the clinic tents forcing the team to temporarily operate from makeshift clinics within borrowed containers and shelters. International Medical Corps conducted a GBV Safety Audit of the Choucha camp in partnership with UNFPA to assess and address risk factors regarding the protection of camp residents from gender-based violence. Results and recommendations based on a walkthrough of the camp are being finalized.
